The Bellingham Bulldogs look to bounce
back after suffering a 12-38 loss last week to the Seattle Stations.
Cody Oakes continues to take snaps under center in relief of the
injured Eric Taylor as injuries to key players have left the Bulldogs
roster thin and fresh faces were called upon to setup their game. The
Roseburg Rampage made the 7 hour, 440 mile trip to Civic Field and
prove their worth in the Pacific Northwest football arena.

The Bellingham offense did not take
long to find their rhythm. Scoring quickly and often the Bulldogs
used their air attack to put a 21-point lead on the board in the
first quarter. Oakes found 3 different receivers for touchdowns.
Bellingham's defense dominated the line of scrimmage, not allowing a
sustained Rampage drive the entire first half. By halftime the
Bulldogs lead 28-0 and as the third quarter began Bellingham had
their confidence back.

Oakes again showed his talents by
scrambling for a 60-yard touchdown and throwing three more touchdowns
to his receivers. Including three touchdowns to wide receiver Douglas
Miller. The Bulldogs defense shut Roseburg out of the endzone. Not
allowing a single point to be scored. The game was in hand. The
Rampage were out-manned, over-powered and out-coached.

The Bellingham fans were also treated
to a rare on-field cameo appearance by the Bulldogs coaching staff
who decided to suit-up for a few plays. Coaches Brian Young, James
Darling, Addison Perrin and General Manager Don Oneida made their way
onto the field. The proud Bellingham Bulldogs have their swagger and
look to making a run at the playoffs. Final score: 55-0. Click here

The Bellingham Bulldogs squared off
against a familiar opponent Saturday, May 3rd at Civic Field. The
Grays Harbor Bearcats roll into town looking to snap a three-game
losing skid. Bellingham, winning their last two, are looking to make
a bid for the number one seed in the Pacific Football League North
Division and solidify their spot in the PFL Playoffs.

The first quarter saw the Bulldogs
offense still struggling to establish their long tradition of a
dominate running game. Forcing Bellingham to throw the ball, the
Bearcats grabbed an early interception that resulted in a touchdown.
Offensive miscues continue to plague the Bulldogs but a powerhouse
wide receiver core make up for any deficiencies.

The Bulldogs defense squashes every
attempt at a sustained Bearcats drive with a combination of pass
rushing and blanket down-field coverage, knocking down passes and
intercepting the ball on several attempts. This allows Bellingham to
let loose their passing attack and score three unanswered touchdowns
through the air in the first half. Quarterback Eric Taylor connects
with all of his receivers including Toby Seim for one touchdown and
Cody Oakes for two more before the half.

The second half unfortunately saw
injuries to key players but the Bulldogs offensive juggernaut found
its stride. Bulldozing the Bearcats defensive line with key runs by
fullback Justin Heard. Cody Oakes stepped up under center to lead
Bellingham on a second half beat down of the Bearcats. Using a
combination passing and scrambling, Oakes marched the Bulldogs down
field, finding his backup receivers on multiple occasions. The end
result culminating in a 31-yard touchdown pass to Toby Seim in the
fourth quarter.

The Bulldogs defense stood firm the
entire game. Not allowing a single Bearcats offensive score,
reminding the PFL of their past domination and on-going potential to
be the best in the league. Final score: 35-7. Click here to view photos from the game.

put the pedal to the floor, taking advantage of turn-overs and
mistimed passing by the Slam, the Chinooks jumped out to a 19 point
lead. The Slam would not give up, scoring 31 points through the
